I'm currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.

It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I'd like some more power without building a full custom hptc.

Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?

Lenovo Tiny m920q desktop box I believe. It's been pretty great with everything I've thrown at it, and quick-sync has been working as far as I can tell, though I'm streaming to my workstation 95% of the time so I rarely have to transcode.

I'm using an old refurbished dell thin client that I got for 30 bucks on eBay. Works really well. Can recommend

Same, it's a great machine and I've had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat

Are you running windows on it or did you change?

[–] grunt@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

nah running ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it. Only way to get tonemapping to work properly is to use unix. Runs like a dream, also have nextcloud running on it and some other person stuff. love that little box.

Running on 11th gen. Intel NUC11ATKC4 (Intel Celeron N5105), it was pretty cheap (compared to other Intel NUCs) and the Celeron is good enough for running Jellyfin and everything else I run with a good transcoding performance @ non-60fps movies at 4K.
